Senate Committee Approves FY24 Commerce, Justice, and Science Appropriations Bill
Press Release
Issues: Government Budget and Spending
"Even under tight budgetary pressure, this bill is still able to provide judicious increases for law enforcement, avoiding layoffs of the people who are charged with combatting the fentanyl crisis, apprehending violent fugitives, and prosecuting criminals. The bill also fully rejects the cuts, as proposed in the President's budget, to vital programs that support activities like drug courts, veterans treatment courts, and addressing the rape kit backlog. As the Vice Chairman of the Appropriations Committee, I will continue to advocate for this funding as the appropriations process moves forward."
